Professional Experience

Anuta Networks
Software Engineer April 2017 – Present
 Spearheaded the development and enhancement of the ATOM product by automating various network services in a fast-
paced agile environment.
 Tailored service packages to align with service providers' requirements, utilizing Python, YANG and XML, provisioning up to
200,000 services per hour across thousands of multi-vendor devices.
 Created low-code workflow automation, using Groovy and BPMN, that facilitate the provisioning of stateless network
services and SD-WAN topologies, which can inspect and provision / upgrade approximately 3000 services per hour.
 Achieved up to 95% efficiency improvement, 35x increase in automation capabilities, and a 60x boost in productivity for the
clients through innovative automation techniques.
 Contributed to the development and maintenance of test automation frameworks, implementing Robot Framework with
Python, that integrate seamlessly with Jenkins CI/CD and Git pipelines, ensuring consistency and avoiding regressions.
 Deployed the ATOM product across various platforms, ranging from local hosts and on-premise environments (VMWare) to
diverse Cloud platforms (AWS) incorporating containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure as Code
(IaC) concepts (Terraform).
 Orchestrated end-to-end performance reports and monitoring metrics, utilizing Prometheus DB, Ignite DB and Grafana,
effectively presenting thousands of metrics per second on intuitive dashboards.
